Best Unique Accessories

I love shopping local and I love to browse unique shops where you can find merchandise that is makes a community a destination place to shop.      My mom, grandmother and I were shopping on Concession Street in Hamilton last week and came across a really great shop for ladies.

Linseed's, is a wonderful shop that has all kinds of unique accessories and items.     You can find co-ordinating jewelery sets (earrings, necklace... maybe a ring or bracelet), shoes and purses, scarves, watches, one of a kind jewelery, fascinators, headbands, jeweled combs/barretts and even some wall art.  I found lots of beautiful and different Breast Cancer accessories too. 

The greatest part about the store is everything is already grouped for you by colour.      They had everything you'd need grouped for you in green, orange, yellow, red, blue, black, pink or purple etc....    At Linseed's you will find special occasion jewelery that has a little more bling, or you can find lots of great everyday costume jewelery that is great to accessorize with outfits for work.   You can also find some lovely bridal accessories too.

They even carry name brands like Nine West, and I found the prices to be really really good.    So the next time you have a special occasion coming up or have a specific colour of accessory that you are having trouble finding to go with your outfit, check out Linseed's in Hamilton at 542 Concession Street (just east of Upper Wentworth) near the Zarky's.    Just look for the red awning and enjoy shopping at Linseed's!

Best Liquidation Sale

As much as I am looking forward to seeing Target come to town next spring, I am sad to see another Canadian store going out of business.    Our local Zellers will close it's doors on September 15th.     Total liquidation of the store has begun.     Even the fixtures of the store and cart corrals in the parking lot are for sale!      Currently, promotions say that there are "up to 40%" selected items.     I have been to the store several times over the last couple of weeks looking for bargains, and yes there is a clearance area where things are 40% off, but mostly everything is 20% off.     Still a great discount and great to go in now while there is still some selection available.     

Right now they are having their mid-summer blowout.    So in additional to the the sale prices, SAVE an EXTRA 50% off all Previously Reduced Fashion & Footwear and SAVE 40% off all Yellow ticket Bedding. PLUS Clearance coupon Savings! Ends July 19th.     To get your clearance coupon please visit....     https://www.facebook.com/ZellersCanada/app_190322544333196

To stay informed on all their sales and get on-line coupons, make sure you "Like"  Zellers Canada on Facebook.

Best Waterdown Free Movie Night

Last weekend was Ribfest in Waterdown, and one of the things I loved most about the event was the Community feeling I had each time I went there.     Waterdown is such a lovely small town, and it is at Community events where you realize just how small of a community we live in.    

The Watedown BIA (Business Improvement Area), has put together 3 FREE Movie nights to be held in Memorial Park (corner of Parkside and Hamilton Streets in Waterdown).    Bring a lawnchair or a blanket, find a spot and connect with your neighbours while enjoying a great family movie.    

The BIA has asked 3 local businesses to sponsor the event and others are participating by providing food or concessions for sale.   What a great idea for ``Movies in Memorial Park``.
